Tending the Roots of Trauma
An Earth-Centered Approach to Healing Personal, Ancestral, and Collective Wounds
In a world where the burden of trauma is frequently veiled, we blame ourselves for the anxiety, depression, workaholism, and multitude of challenges that shape and color our experiences. This pioneering book untangles the relationship between our personal stories of hardship and the collective conditions of our lives, emerging to reveal a path toward greater authenticity, resilience, and belonging.
Description
Weaving insights from traditional cultures with the advancements of modern scientific research, ‘Tending the Roots of Trauma’ illuminates the interconnectedness between the human body and the body of the Earth. Exploring this ancient partnership opens a deep well of untapped resources for navigating the labyrinth of healing. From addressing childhood struggles and ancestral narratives, to unearthing the covert messages of the collective, Mindi shows us how to transform our suffering into medicine for ourselves and the world. Within these pages, practical and empowering invitations guide us to metabolize our own history, removing the barriers to wellness and paving the way home.

Each chapter brings light to the unhealed trauma long-held within, liberating an immensity of courage and compassion. Mindi’s heartfelt approach fosters an unshakeable dedication to radical self-healing as the first important step toward global healing.
